Switching from a need-based communication to an affinity-based community is a better eco-system for growing healthy projects and people.

It basically what we have now AND doing some more communication in between for what people feel or need.

Example: When finishing a work or project doesn't mean you don't talk to people in the past again.
If a company or person doesn't answer because the work is done then you know affinity wasn't / isn't there or there is some feelings about continuing communication (which is also good to talk about).

The continual affinity and talking about it I feel is what is going to win on top of the need-only method (because that is a bit divided) and affinity smooths out many other things for everyone along the way... Not just taking what they need and then ignoring the rest...

Summary: Incremental communications along the way towards the human things and affinity mentality, not just a traditional material-based need thing... but more grease for all other things human-based.
